Girl Good. And yours?

Boy My parents and I had a fantastic time in Brazil. The plane journey was boring – it was 12 hours! Where did you go?

Girl: Today I want to talk about a trip I went on with my family last April. We went on holiday to Australia and visited lots of famous places but my favourite day was the day we spent at Australia Zoo. We arrived early so we could see all the animals. It was a very hot day and my sister and I were really excited. First of all we visited the kangaroos and after that we saw some koalas. They were really cute. At about 11 o’clock we went to see a show with crocodiles. It was time for their lunch and they ate a lot of meat! They were very big and when they came out of the water I was a bit scared! I took lots of photos during the day. I couldn’t believe how amazing the animals were...After lunch we went to see the African animals like lions, giraffes and rhinos! I also gave some food to a zebra. That was awesome. The zoo also has its own hospital for animals. We saw a koala with a broken arm and a young tiger with a broken leg. During the day we also saw parrots, snakes and camels. It was a brilliant trip.

Newsreader: And now let’s hear about an amazing achievement. Joe Grant is an ultrarunner. He comes from Colorado and likes running, cycling and climbing. Yesterday he finished climbing all the mountains in Colorado that are above 4000 metres. He left his house on June 24th and cycled to each mountain and then climbed it. He climbed 57 different mountains in 29 days. Amazing! Sometimes he climbed two mountains on the same day! He didn’t take many clothes with him. For one month, he used two pairs of running shoes, one pair of shorts, a T-shirt, two pairs of socks and a rain jacket. He didn’t take a tent because it was too heavy so he camped outside every night. Sometimes it was sunny but it often rained and he was very cold when it snowed on the mountains. In the 29 days he ran, cycled and climbed but he also ate and drank a lot! He ate burgers, cookies, chocolate bars, and burritos. Not very healthy but full of calories and lots of energy!

Newsreader: For many children school is great. This is because after class you can hang out with your friends. You can have a good time with them playing games or just chatting. But some students don’t have a great time at school and it is difficult for them. On today’s programme I want to finish the show with some good news from a school in the USA. Students in a 5th grade class show that being friendly to everyone is important.

James is 11 and school is very difficult for him. The lessons are hard and some of the students in his class are not very kind to him. So school is not easy. Luckily some other classmates are real friends to James and help him every day in the lessons and in the breaks.

A group of five boys look after James in the playground and he always has lunch at their table. They like the same food and they like chatting with each other. James and his friends have lots of hobbies. Like his friends, James loves sports. He also loves his games console, a present from his friends. In return they get James’ friendship. James is very happy with his new friends.

Audio Script:

Girl: I love my smartphone, but I never use it in school. My teachers don’t like it. They always ask us to put them in our bags. It’s the same with headphones and MP3 players. We don’t listen to music in class! But, in one class, my teacher likes e-readers. We use them to read books or news articles. I don’t use a laptop in school, but I’ve got one at home, to do my homework.

Boy: In my school, we sometimes use smartphones, but not to talk to friends. We use them to find out information, or check something online.

Boy: In one lesson, we sometimes have laptops. For example, my teacher Miss James wants us to take a photo of our class, with a message ‘please like and share this’. She wants to know how many ‘likes’ the photo gets, and how fast it goesaround the world.

Boy: We sometimes use tablets in class, too. We play games! Not real games, but we learn how to write a computer program, or design something. I’m really interested in computers, so I love these lessons.
